U.K. Outdoor Festival Wedding Venues Where You Don’t Have to Hire in!

The Dreys | Kent Wedding Venue

The Dreys is a beautiful little venue tucked away in the Kent countryside. The venue is set amongst 80 acres of privately owned ancient woodland about 40 minutes outside of London. The venue covers everything apart from caterers and entertainment – the perfect two things to personalise!

Venue Address: Rumstead Ln, Sittingbourne ME9 7QL.

Capacity: 60-450 guests.

Licensed for weddings: Yep – or you can opt for a non legal ceremony in their woodland too!

Wilderness Woods | Kent Wedding Venue

Wilderness Woods in Kent really have thought of everything to make your festival wedding awesome! You have so many options for where you can get married, and they even supply transport so you can get around the site easily!

Cornish Tipi Wedding Venue | Cornwall

Cornwall is one of my all time favourite places in the whole wide world. It would be epic to shoot a festival wedding at the Cornish Tipi Wedding Venue. They are also one of the only venues I have found which don’t charge corkage and are happy for you to BYO booze or hire in a bar company – win win!

Spirit Lake | Surrey Wedding Venue

Spirit Lake is situated in the Surrey Hills, in a beautiful 30 acre space of natural woodland and parkland. A bit more dry hire than most of these venues, but Fiesta fields offer packages so that you can hire in everything you need, from posh loos to security guards and parking attendants – they really have got you covered, so you can sit back and enjoy your festival wedding.

Venue Address: Ockley Road, RH5 4PU

Capacity: 200

Licensed for weddings: No. Humanist outdoor ceremony options only

Catering: Choose your own.

Licensed Bar: Nope – BYO or hire in a bar of your choice!

Furniture:Choose your own or go with a Fiesta Fields package

Beautiful Tipi or Marque: Choose your own or go with a Fiesta Fields package
